Cunningham lost huge amounts of money at roulette tables, resulting in massive debts. For that reason, he was forced to take out several loans. The unemployed man became desperate and turned to drug dealing. Court documents showed that the gambling addict didn’t receive big payouts from his drug trafficking activities.

Indebted gambler

Glasgow Police raided an apartment after information about an alleged supply of heroin. Police officers arrested Cunningham at the apartment where they seized an assortment of drug paraphernalia. Heroine packaging found inside the flat featured his fingerprints. The heroin delivery involved a whopping £500,000 in cash.
